Apparently, I'm in the wrong business. What a shame that I have no athletic abilities because apparently, if you have the ability to instruct in baseball you can make some serious bucks.

Josh's baseball team needs some back-up pitchers this year as we only have one. He can only pitch so many innings per week so the coach is allowing Josh and another of his teammates the opportunity to pitch. While Josh has some GREAT speed, his accuracy is far from where it needs to be so we went in search of a pitching coach.

At the recommendation of a friend, we found an organization in Nashville made up of former MLB players/coaches that instruct in pitching, hitting and fielding. After a phone call today, Josh is signed up to start there next Tuesday. He will go for eight weeks for 30 minutes each week. I'm told if he will practice at home, he will excel quickly. I am CERTAIN he will be practicing at home since I will have to take out a second mortgage to pay for the lessons (joke).

Stay tuned to see how this new endeavor goes. It's a new experience for him and us and I'm excited that he has the opportunity. And, best of all, I'll get some great pictures!! It truly is all about the photos, isn't it?

What Do I "DO?"

I am a photographer. I capture those moments in your life that make you smile, cry and laugh. I help you remember those tiny features about your newborn, the six month old who is starting to sit, the one year old who can't stand still long enough to get a picture. I help you remember your wedding day -- from the intimate moments to the tiniest details. I capture in print the moment your son or daughter heads off to the their first, or last, prom or formal event. I help you save who your child is as they are a senior starting off to carve their niche in the world. I want o help you remember the birthdays, the anniversaries, the moments that make up life.

About Me

Christian, wife, mom and photographer who loves: Jesus, my husband, my son and daughter, my parents, my friends, my church, animals, photography, reading, sports (if my son is playing), saving money with coupons, reality TV and adoption. Dislikes include being late (although I always am), lost keys (they always are), lots of noise, rude people, grits and gravy, lying, work - most of the time (unfortunately this is a necessary evil) and a messy house (but then when is it not?).
